Link Buiding Relavance

How do I measure that a website is relavant?

[nakulgoyal]

I have several websites that I would like Link Building to be done. I almost devote 2 hrs a day on 30+ websites doing Link Building.

Seems to be working satisfactorily for me.

What I need to know is how do we measure that a site that has a link to me is relavant to me or not?

And how do I know that all search engines think the same way as my tiny little mind?

if maybe, we presume, that a website is NOT relavant (Tell me how we meausre this), is this BAD for me? if yes, please tell HOW?

"What I need to know is how do we measure that a site that has a link to me is relavant to me or not? "

Does it add value to your site? Does your site add value to it? If not, your linking just for the link. I suspect this will not be a good long term strategy.

Nakulgoyal, it is a good question that is often discussed deep within certain threads and so makes it fairly hard to find:-) I think to start you would want to make sure that the site is in the same category as you. Lets use one example. Say your site was about Travel. Now prferably you wouldn't go and get general travel links. If your site was about travel in europe then you would go get links for europe travel. If your site was on travel in Italy then you would only find italian links. Like restaurant guides, advise on the best places to go visit etc.

Now what to actually look for on the site to give it that relevancy does take time. You should look firstly in my opinion at the title bar of the page and the overall keyword strategy. If the title has your keywords in it or fairly close to that then that is preferable. Try make sure that the keywords are close to yours. This just throws more relevancy and pr if you care about it:-)

Now look how they have used headers on the page and the actual content and how it could be useful to your visitors. If there is anything that sets this site apart. Maybe a tool of some sort etc. Basically just work hard at it and don't just go and see some site and li nk to it for the hell of getting a link as that will defeat the purpose of your hard work. Of course though there will always be a site that has no relevancy to your content but would benefit your visitors. I have a link to a currency converter for example. Also don't just reciprocal link. It might be beneficial in the short term but will be beneficial in the long term as lets face it SE's will eventually get their algos to work like that. What benefits your visitors will benefit the community of the web. Cool there is my 2 cents
